OFFENDED VANITY.
BY ALEX. SWEET.

All created human beings are more or less vain. Offended personal vanity is at the bottom of more feuds and quarrels than all other causes com- bined. Men readily forgive injuries, but rarely is the prcmeditated insult forgotten. So firmly planted in man is egotism that even an insane man be- comes exasperated by a personal slight, in proof of which I submit the fol- lowing:
 There lived in San Antonio, Tex, in the days when it was more of Mexi- can than an American city, an old shoemaker named Pedro Gomez.
 He was not quite right in his head. He was quite harmless, but decidedly little off. He was particularly pe- culiar on the subject of religion, and spent hours on his knees in the old ca- thedral of San Fernando praying to & large picture of St. John the Baptist, whom he persisted in addressing as "colonel," poor Pedro Gomez having once been in the Mexican army, where he received a wound in the head, which was the real cause of his de- mentia.
 His religious mania grew on him until he almost became a fixture in front of that picture. Moreover, he prayed ill loud voice and made such whimsical requests of his patron saint, who only wore leathern girdle about his loins, that the other worshipers, who were really in earnest, were very much scandalized at the levity caused by such petitions as "Oh, saint, colo nel, Juan Bautisto, why do you put off getting me fresh pair of pants to replace these shabby ones, which are almost worn out by me performing my prisons? Have you, too, gone back on me?"
 In a word, the old Mexican became nuisance in the church, while the sexton sought to repress by telling him to go home and get his dinner.
 "No, I will not go," exclaimed the old Mexican crank "God is my father, and this is my fathers house. I shall not leave it at your suggestion. As for my dinner, my old friend and chum, Colonel John the Baptist, may share his locusts and wild honey with me-"
 The sexton did not care to use vio- lence, so he rescrted to strategy. He concealed himself behind the sacred picture, and when the supplicant raised his voice and requested that Colonel St. John shower down on him a few t0mdles and chile con ca1ne for dinner the sexton replied in a loud voice:
 "Scat go home, you old fraud, and stay there until you are sent for"
 The old Mexican was surprised and insulted, believing that the words re- ally issued from the mouth of St. John. He arose to his feet, threw his tattered .scrape over his shoulders, bowed with true Castilian stateliness to the picture of the saint, and said, with cutting sarcasm:
 "So, MT. St. John, that is the way you treat hidalgo and faithful old friend like myself. No wonder you have no shoes to your feet, no clothes to your back, and can't get on in the world, if you have no better manners than that. Hereafter, Pll worship at some worthy shrine" and he strode out of the church, into which he never afterwards could be induced to poke his nose.-Ne,c Fork Mercury. Oft obscure the road that leads to health

Lemon Hot Drops.

After great many trials of the first physicians in the North and South, I had grown exhausted by the continued experimental efforts of doctors to cure me of Chronic Laryngetis and Bron- ehitis of most severe type, dropped into a drug store, while more dead than alive. Speaking of my condition, a friend of mind advised me to try Dr. Mozley's Lemon Hot Drops, which 1 did, and to my surprise, after taking the first bottle, it gave me complete relief. I then bought three other bottles, which cured my case en- tirely of eight years standing.
 Dr. w. A. BYERS,

 Dr. II. MozLEY.-Dear Sir: 1 have suffered for five years with a severe cough and lung trouble. l saw your advertisement of Lemon Hot Drops, and procured q bottle; having tried every cough and lozenge that I could hear of with but little benefit. To my surprise, derived benefit from the first dose. My cough left me, also the soreness of my lungs, by the use of four small bottles only. My cough was so severe as to produce hemorrhages, at the time I began to use it, and the relief was so great that l shall ever feel grateful to you.

these lands are put in at fair valuation
(not booming fgures,) making the
movement success, then the stock
will be worth all the advance that could
be anticipated for the land under any
circumstances,lik Sehfield for instance,
81 900 OF original stock is now worth
81 200, and this is based on the advance
of the land originally put in the capital
stock,which has induced the settling of
city and building manufactures.
GAINESVILLE being alreadya solid COM
mercial city, with more advantages than
Sheffield as manufacturing point is
bound TO succeed under so powerful
and active organization as this.
The men putting this movement on
foot stated that they had no purpose to
persuade citizens into it, and while they
could effect an organization without
open action, they thought it best to give
all citizens an opportunity to enjoy
whatever benefits might grow out OF it.
1t is understood that Capt Gracey and
associates have already obtained options
and all OF the iron lands wanted be-
tween GAINESVILLE and Dickson, with a
view OF estab!ishinga furnace at or
near Sailors Rest on the river and rail-
road where they are largely interested
in ore mines, but have consented to
to abandon that project il sufficient
amount OF land can be had on .reasona-
BILE terms around Clarksvlle to base
substantial organization, on which
event all the money wanted could be
had outside of GAINESVILLE. Now it is
n question for our people to decide for
themselves. whether they will subscribe
land and money, making the organiza-
ton effective here. Reaping the
profits that are sure to follow, as have
followed all such movements in Ala
bama and other places, and build up
great city here, or let the furnace be
built at Sailors Rest and a manufacture
ing city as large as GAINESVILLE spring
up in year.
1t occurs that no live citizen OF
GAINESVILLE could hesitate a moment
what TO do. The only question for
him to consider is how much stock
can / possibly take and meet under the
liberal payments, or how much can /
get this company to take my worthless
land at?
That our readers may not DO mistak-
en- about this matter, leading gentle
men have said to the writer that they
did not mean to let this movement fall
through for they had dozen quite
able to take the stock, agreed to sub
scribe $4,000 each and close the books,
carrying out the original purpose. Citi-
Gems should not delay day.

Proctor Sentenced.

The case OF the State vs.. Proctor came
up for final action last Thursday morn
ing. The defendant. through: his at
torneys, Messrs Bell & Pitt had enter
ed a motion for new trial, which was
briefly argued. The motion was over.
ruled and the prisoner sentenced to the
penitentiary for life. This was all the
defendant expected and no appeal will
be taken.
Judge Tyler said in passing on the
motion that the defendant seemed to
have been abandoned by his friends,and
that all the outside sentiment seemed
to have been against the accused, for
this reason itappeared to him that, in
view OF the prejudice existing the rec
ommendatlon OF the jury was entitled
to more weight than had the reverse
been the case. Acting therefore, as he
thought proper under the circum-
stances, he committed the punishment
to imprisonment for life in the peniten-
tiary.
Andrew Nolen was sentenced at the
same time to three years in the penlten-
tiary for bringing stolen property into
State. Nolen and his sweet scented
partner. John Clardy, were jointly in
dicted, John pleaded his innocence and
got five years, Nolen pleaded guilty
and took three years.
